Question : I took the morning after pill few weeks ago, and then again few days ago. Period is late. Negative pregnancy test, however having period like cramps.
Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry
Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
I understand your health issue and anxiety related to the same.
It is common to have delayed periods after repeated emergency pill intake because of the high dose of progesterone in it.
Now as the pregnancy test is negative and you are already having cramps of upcoming periods there is nothing to worry and you just need to wait for your periods.
Take care.
Regards
Dr Manisha

Sorry i accidentally sent without writing out the entire message. So theres no chance I am pregnant right? I apologise, as I am extremely paranoid. They are just intermitent cramp pains. And I've had hardly any vaginal discharge today
Thank you for advise. It has been very helpful otheriwse. .

Brief Answer:
No risk of pregnancy
Detailed Answer:
I totally understand your anxiety which is but obvious but since pregnancy test is negative chances of pregnancy are negligible and all you need to do right now is to wait for your periods and not to worry.
Just relax as you will get your periods soon which have been delayed because of the effect of pill.
But in case you still don't get them in a week then repeat a pregnancy test again and then we can discuss the need to give you hormones for withdrawal of periods so as to set your hormone mileau straight.
All the best.
